I was surprised by this column, perhaps it was meant to be a satirical piece.

Golf is an Olympic sports. The ball is white and about the same size as a ping pong ball. It also travels pretty fast. Badminton is another Olympic sport where the white shuttlecock is small and the speed and agility of the players are similar. There is little question in ping pong who is hitting the ball as the players are on different sides of the table. Regardless, from one subscriber's perspective, I really enjoyed watching the ping pong competition.
